The native Americans were not seen as citizens at that time. They were driven out.
the colonization of america is the greatest act of genocide through all of human history. saying the native americans were just 'driven out' is fucking demonic. then again, i guess by your logic it's fine, since the europeans weren't killing 'their own' people

As someone with many comrades from the Lakota and Navajo nations and more I cannot express how fucking mad I am right now about this whole thing.
I would commit unspeakable acts of violence on these motherfuckers if they said any of this to my face.
I'm pretty sure it was simply a gentlemen's agreement where the native peoples decided to make space for the colonists by moving out of the way /s
